        If I understand correctly, you used only the h264.mp4 and h265.mp4
        presets, changing the "Pixels" option from "420 8-bit" to "422
        10-bit"
        each time. Also, try using the 8, 10 and 12-bit h265 presets;
        they are
        Andrew's new ones that work for me in the non-multibit version.
        I've tried non-multibit and I can render h264.mp4 at 8 and
        10-bit and
        h265.mp4 at 8 and 10-bit. In short, in my case the non-multibit
        version always behaves as a sum of multibit and non-multibit.


    @Andrea and All
    I had a look into the Manual: Modifying FFmpeg Format Options
    inside CINELERRA-GG
    Figure 9.2: FFmpeg wrench, video preset, view and format options
    https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/Modifying_FFmpeg_Format_Opt.html
    <https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/Modifying_FFmpeg_Format_Opt.html>

    and tried to indicate cin version and parameters in my test file
    names (no warranty the syntax is quite consistent), i.e

    hd01_cin_appimage_ffmpeg_h264_yuv422p10le.mp4
    File > Render | File format: FFMPEG mp4 | Video Wrench
    > Video Preset | Compression: h264-10bit.mp4 | Pixels: yuv422p10le

    While this rendered OK on one of my workstation, another
    installation wouldn't render at all with the following
    Message log:
    virtual void Render::handle close event(int):
     Create new at labels checked, but no labels
    (or other Failure)



guess in this case you (accidently?) selected rendering option making new file at each label (3rd radiobutton out of four) instead of rendering whole file/ in-out region....



@Andrew
Thx, that's right - I don't know why or how the Render "Make new file box" was checked on my MSI workstation.
Unchecked it and the above file rendered ok.

A minor visual notice, why differ the Render button geometries between my two workstations with the same, latest Cin-GG appimage installation?
See the attached screenshot,  the top Render window with square and round buttons vs the bottom Render window with romb buttons.

guess: because different Cin instances used different themes? 


One render option combination that Cin-gg regular reported error message (invalid or not supported), was as shown on the screenshot
h265-10bit.mp4 compression and yuv422p10le pixels
Is this correct?

well, it was motivation for me to write my patches, but apparently not all systems behave like this... 


@Andrea
I succeeded to rendered further combinations and cleaned up my file name syntax as follows:

du -sh hd01.mov hd01*app*.mp4

1,7G    hd01.mov (input 10bit ProRes HQ file)
--------------------------
70M    hd01_cin_appimage_ffmpeg_h264-10bit_yuv422p10le.mp4
72M    hd01_cin_appimage_ffmpeg_h264_yuv420p.mp4
80M    hd01_cin_appimage_ffmpeg_h264_yuv422p10le.mp4
82M    hd01_cin_appimage_ffmpeg_h264_yuv422p.mp4

26M    hd01_cin_appimage_ffmpeg_h265_yuv422p.mp4
--------------------------
26M    hd01_cin-multi_appimage_ffmpeg_h265-10bit_yuv422p10le.mp4

26M    hd01_cin-multi_appimage_ffmpeg_h265_yuv422p.mp4

but how they look visually? I found it a bit strange how h264 compresses to different sizes yet h265 is all the same.. you tried with rgb(a) - float project setting in all cases, yes? 



The file quality (sharpness) looks fine against the input hd01.mov file, the file colors varies a bit between greenish and yellow-brownish.

I didn't change the default project setting, just loaded the hd01.mov file once, and rendered all files from it.
The default Setting > Format color model is RGBA-8bit
Obviously it should have been set to the higher RGB(A)-Float for this 10-bit 422 ProRes HQ file format?
